Accepted Answer

Solution The ratio between comparable measurements of an object and a representation of that object is known as a scale factor in mathematics The copy will be larger if the scaling factor is a whole number A fractional scaling factor means that the duplicate will be smaller From the question it is given that a model of a ship is made to a scale of 1 200 Given the area of the deck of the ship is 160000 m Then area of deck of the model 160000 1200sup2sup 160000 140000 4 msup2sup
